burning and playback problems of SL copies in PC drive.

[villamanila]

All Single Layer copies burnt in USB drive always playback well in USB drive and standalone player now, but not on laptop’s internal PC drive.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
Also, they pass the Scan disc test of CD-DVD Drive speed when done in USB drive but these same copies give damaged (yellow) and bad (red) sectors when I subject them to the same test in the PC internal drive. Consequently they also stall and freeze when played back in this drive.<o></o>
<o></o>
Furthermore, when I try to burn Sl discs in the internal drive instead, Nero Recode2 gives an “illegal disc” error. I post copy of the log further below.<o></o>
<o></o>
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 5150 bought in 2003 with XP Pro. Its internal drive is a DL&SL 8x player/SL 2.4x recorder Philips. It came with Roxio software for copying which I replaced (I hope successfully but not sure) by Nero as soon as I could. I only use Verbatims for all copies now.<o></o>
<o></o>
Any ideas out there, you forum brains? Thanks a bunch.<o></o>

[Chewy]

that's a very olde laptop burner but newer firmware might help if it's not dying

http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1681

from the numbers of firmware I would say they kept rying to get it right

1.06 would be the latest
Fri Apr 02, 2004 and that's ancient

[villamanila]

Updated but I guess same problems persist.

Thanks for your reply, Chewy.

I downloaded and installed versions 1.03 and 1.06 for my drive. I installed them one at a time starting by the eldest and rebooted after each installation. I also tested playback between installations. I haven't noticed any change when playing copies.

What should I do to find out if there's been a change or improvement somewhere? Is there anything else to be done now (aside from changing to a more modern laptop?

[locoeng]

A cheaper solution might be to try and external drive before diving into a new laptop...as chewy stated the firmware that is available looks like they might have never got it right.

[Chewy]

I would just save the burner for a regular reader and keep using your usb drive.

Might try some older media if you can find it.

[villamanila]

I guess you guys are both right. Sensible advice too. Thanks.
